Eco Factor: Sustainable residential community with green roofs and sky gardens.
Vietnam-based architecture firm DWP Architects has unveiled the designs of the “Everrich 2,” a new residential community under construction in District 7, Ho Chi Minh City. The 630,000-sqm complex will have 3100 apartment units ranging from 120 to 250 sqm each, with two floors of mixed retail and public space on the ground level.
The new community, which aims to be self-sustaining, has been influenced by a single continuous loop, or a Mobius strip and takes on the shape of an undulating organic wave. The design creates different views, sun angles and breeze flows throughout. The building uses precast concrete and maximizes use of local masonry.
The design provides good views from all apartments and includes a number of sustainable details including natural ventilation, sky gardens, green roofs and lavational shading treatments that will make the building very efficient in terms of energy usage.
